TAS2563: Question of TAS2563 DVC_PCM Register

Part Number: TAS2563

Hi Sirs,

According to the TAS2563 datasheet page 53, the output volume Vamp = Input + Advc + Aamp (dBV).
Here we have two questions to calculate output level:

1. Advc was specified by DVC_PCM register, while we are not able to find it in TAS2563 datasheet. Would you pls advise the location of DVC_PCM?
2. The Aamp was specified by AMP_LEVEL on 0x03. Is it a voltage clip or a voltage gain since the unit of AMP_LEVEL is dBV? Does TAS2563 change output level by changing AMP_LEVEL along?

Thank you and Best regards,

  • Hi Wayne,

    Regarding DVC_PCM you can refer to this FAQ: [Resolved] [FAQ] TAS2563: Adjusting Digital Volume Control using I2C - Audio forum - Audio - TI E2E support forums

    AMP_LEVEL is the driver gain setting, this value should not be modified in SmartAmp mode, although you can change this value in ROM mode.

  • Hello Ivan,

    Thanks a lot. The unit of AMP_LEVEL is dBV (reference to 1V in analog domain). How can we convert the digital input (dBFS) to output level with the AMP_LEVEL? According to my test result, we can convert 0dBFS input to AMP_LEVEL's specified Vp. Would you pls confirm it?

    Input = 0dBFS 1kHz I2S,
    CH1=OUT, CH2=OUT-, CH-M1=CH1-CH2, CH-M2=CH-M1 with LPF

    # Set TAS2563 Amp_Level = 9.5dBV (4.221969Vpk)
    w 90 00 00
    w 90 7f 00
    w 90 03 06

    # Set TAS2563 Amp_Level = 8.5dBV (3.762833Vpk)
    w 90 00 00
    w 90 7f 00
    w 90 03 02




    Should we configure the AMP_LEVEL to 7.97Vpk if 8V PVDD was used in boost bypass mode?

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    # Set TAS2563 Amp_Level = 15dBV (7.952707Vpk)
    w 90 00 00
    w 90 7f 00
    w 90 03 1c

    Thank you and Best regards,

  • Hi Wayne,

    Your calculations look correct.
    Yes, you can configure to 15dBV if want to use 8VPVDD with no clipping at digital full-scale. Ensure a strong PVDD connection and make sure to have correct decoupling capacitors to be able to provide the current peaks demand from the amplifier.
